Title: TBA Abstract: TBA

Archetypal analysis is an unsupervised learning method that uses a convex polytope to summarize multivariate data. For fixed k, the method finds a convex polytope with k vertices, called archetype points, such that the polytope is contained in the convex hull of the data and the mean squared distance between the data and the polytope […]

Title: Modern techniques to approach the invariant subspace problem Abstract:  The invariant subspace problem is by far one of the most important problems in operator theory. It has been open for more than half a century, and there are many significant contributions with a huge variety of techniques, making this challenging problem so interesting; however […]

Title: Pareto optimization of resonances and optimal control methods Abstract: First successes in fabrication of high-Q optical cavities two decades ago led to active applied physics and numerical studies of […]

Title: Connections between Iterative Methods for Linear Systems and Consensus Dynamics on Networks Abstract: There is a well-established linear algebraic lens for studying consensus dynamics on networks, which has yielded […]

Title: Viscoelastic Effects of Spontaneous Oscillations of Elastic Filaments in the Follower-Force Problem. Abstract: It is well know that microorganisms, such as bacteria and eukaryotes, often move in intricate environments experiencing mechano-chemical dynamics. These environments consist of rheologically complex substances such as mucus and other biofilms that are more complicated than water.  Spermatozoa (sperm), for […]

During this student-centered Applied Math Seminar, there will be discussion and presentation about upcoming courses in applied mathematics to help students make their enrollment choices for Fall 2022 and beyond.

Title: Data science and applications in dynamic topic modeling Abstract: The shockwaves of the big data boom have thrown into sharp relief the critical need for domain-driven, large-scale data analytic […]

Title: What is the best shape? Geometric problems arising in aggregation models Abstract: How do pair interactions shape the large-scale behaviour of a cloud of particles (animals, social agents ...) […]

Title: Computational Approaches to Optimization Problems in Inhomogeneous Rods and Plates Abstract: In this talk, we will show the experiments of the vibration of plates to generate Chladni's figures and […]
